Resurrecting this old thread to add a most unique old bolster.
I believe the center "stone" is a piece of meteorite!

Keep waking them up, Dimitri.
Better than starting ANOTHER topic or thread on the same subject.
NICE ornate bolster(s), Dimitri.
Is that a deer foot knife?

Great old thread. The first one is an Imperial shell handled Barlow that I customized by converting it from shell handles and made new liners and bolsters. The bolsters were elongated to exaggerate their length, and faceted. Handle material is elk stag. Second is a Keen Kutter jack with stamped bolsters.

Wow, that Imperial looks great.
Really like the bolsters you put on there!
Nice Keen Kutter as well.
